Overview

• A Bogotá juvenile court ordered the 15-year-old to serve seven years in a specialized facility after he admitted attempted homicide and illegal gun possession.
• Because he accepted charges before Uribe Turbay died, Colombian law kept the case as attempted homicide, and he will not be moved to an adult prison at 18.
• Prosecutors say the teen was recruited, received a 9 mm Glock from Elder José Arteaga Hernández, and was driven by Carlos Eduardo Mora González to the rally where he opened fire.
• Authorities report six people are in custody over the planning and execution, the case is classified as magnicidio, and investigators continue to seek the intellectual authors, with Segunda Marquetalia the leading hypothesis.
• In a separate political development, the victim’s father, Miguel Uribe Londoño, launched a presidential bid pledging to carry his son’s legacy.
